The Enormous Crocodile

Great Britain: Picture Puffins, 1983. Fourth Puffin Picture printing. A unique example with partial Roald Dahl inscription. Front cover half clipped for Dahl signature. Inscribed by Roald Dahl inside cover: "To Lee". Below this, signed by someone else - and obviously not Dahl's signature - but actually reminiscent while simultaneously more attractive: "Love, Roald Dahl", as was his oft-time salutation. Book itself fully intact (excepting half of cover) with moderate wear, some crease. Pages good. Charming color illustration throughout by Quentin Blake. Unique example w/the writing of Dahl himself. This crocodile has an enormous appetite and boasts that he is going to eat a nice juicy child for lunch. Fortunately for the children, the other animals in the jungle see through the crocodile's cunning disguises. Apprx. 40 pages.. First Puffin Edition. Soft Cover. Fair. Illus. by Blake, Quentin. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
